VOLUMES I. and II. of the same Work; from the Conquest to the end
of Henry III., 1066 to 1272.
"A work in which a subject of great historical importance is
treated with the care, diligence, and learning it deserves; in
which Mr. Foss has brought to light many points previously
unknown, corrected many errors, and shown such ample knowledge of
his subject as to conduct it successfully through all the
intricacies of a difficult investigation; and such taste and
judgment as will enable him to quit, when occasion requires, the
dry details of a professional inquiry, and to impart to his work
as he proceeds, the grace and dignity of a philosophical
history."--_Gent. Mag._

THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED.
An Elementary Work, affording at a single glance a comprehensive
view of the History of English Architecture, from the Heptarchy to
the Reformation. By EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect.
"Mr. Sharpe's reasons for advocating changes in the nomenclature
of Rickman are worthy of attention, coming from an author who has
entered very deeply into the analysis of Gothic architecture, and
who has, in his 'Architectural Parallels,' followed a method of
demonstration which has the highest possible
value."--_Architectural Quarterly Review._
"The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern
times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days
of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his
lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful
and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture
into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore
entitled to considerable respect."--_Guardian._
